Thanks for your comments. UPDATE : Had to reinforce the legs as the double sided tape wasn't holding on one of the joints.

Needs a pic of it in your hand so we can believe the hand-sized part

It is pretty small with the distance between the legs on opposite sides being only 15cm apart but it is still quite big but here it is in my hand.

Here is the reinforced legs as well.

Okay quick question what is the difference between a Servo Controller such as the one I am using Mini Mastro 24 Servo Controller and a microcontroller as far as I can tell they are the same thing which would mean I wouldn't need a microcontroller as well..

Will include a video of it moveing hopefully in the next update as well as a Polymorph cover over the servos.

For the most part, they are the same thing in the way they can both be programmed to control servo motors.A dedicated servo controller, though, can usually control a significantly larger amount of servos.

(For example, -most- Arduino boards (which is more or less just an ATmega MC and the parts needed to run it) can control only 12 servos [Except the Arduino Mega, which can control 48])

I've been going about my hexapod much differently, using multiple microcontrollers communicating via I2C.It may turn out that I would have been better off going with an option similar to yours, but I'm still hoping I can keep the size somewhat small - fitting in 2-3 palms, perhaps...
